United States Armed Forces ) are currently the most powerful and strongest troops in the world, with an active staff of approximately 1.36 million people and a budget of $ 686 billion in 2018. One of their most important components is the United States Air Force (USAF for short), which is currently considered the strongest and most modern in the world. In 2018, the USAF served approximately 323,000 soldiers and approximately 175,000 civilian employees. At present, the F-22 Raptor and the F-15 Eagle are the basic air superiority fighter. The multi-role fighters include machines such as the F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon or F-35 Lightning II, which will ultimately be the basic multi-role fighter. USAF also has a fleet of strategic bombers consisting of the B-1B, B-2 Spirit and B-52 Stratofortress. The American air force also has a huge fleet of transport machines consisting of machines such as the C-5 Galaxy, C-130 Hercules or C-17 Globemaster III. It can be estimated that the USAF has approximately 5,100 manned aircraft. It is worth adding that USAF pilots - like many other air forces in the world - undergo long training, often lasting several months for fighter pilots. As a result, the cost of training one jet pilot can be counted in millions of dollars!
